It is an eyesore that is more and more prevalent. Just like if more and more people walked around society after deciding no to bath. Frankly, I don't understand the practice of men going on TV shows, either as guest, or host or MC, etc., with a 5 o'clock (yesterday) shadow. Show a little respect for others and act like you have some civility.
It is all sort of the same rubric which spells a coarsening of our society, which affects us all. To anyone thinking about getting stampage, I would ask you to think about the society you are helping look like trailer trash before you get stamped up with your ugly skin-graffiti. Also, pull your pants up, too. We aren't really fascinated with your underwear, either. And don't wear underwear (wife-beaters) as outer-wear, either. Show a little class, or at least keep your low-class under wraps or in the ghetto where it belongs.
I had a job at a grocery store when I was a teenager. If male workers had earrings or nose rings (females too with these), they had to take them out or cover them up. Anyone with tattoos on their arms had to wear long sleeves to conceal them. They wouldn't hire you with tats on your neck or face, or anywhere else visible.
Now I see male clerks with nose rings, eyebrow piercings, gauges in their ears. Tats everywhere. How does that make people perceive the employers? Unfavorably, IMO. Maybe I'm just getting old and times are changing, I don't know. Things like this happen every generation, I'm sure.

It just coarsens and trashes our society. An abdication of any societal norms. I never saw Johnny Carson on the Tonight Show unshaven, but now, some of those guy looked like they haven't shaved in a week or more. Are we supposed to be favorably impressed by their grungy, trashy appearance? People need to have a little respect for others and not turn mainstreet into Ghetto-Central.
I think people who do this are ruined for life, and do harm to our society by making it look like we are a bunch of coarse, non-thinking fools so gullible as to think that there is any benefit, temporary or otherwise to such defilement. It speaks volumes about how trashy and coarse our society is becoming. Can you imaging how inappropriate it would be to try to become a successful doctor bearing all that garbage on your body. Who would trust a doctor with stampage around his or her neck, or with arms that look like some south-seas warrior-savage? Not me - not for one second. It just screams everything undesirable in a person you must rely on for important services.
And the worst thing is that otherwise pretty young girls are ruining their appearance for life with the biker-trash stampage. How sad - so much potential dead-ended by stampage. Uncivilized and worse is the message stampage sends.
tattoos are a way to express yourself, sometimes it's a cultural expression. the op sounds pretty judgmental "people not amounting to much" there are millions of very successful people who have tats. don't like them don't get one, simple.
Yeah, but you know tattoos have reach the stage of boring and mundane when you see 80 year old grannies at the tattoo parlor.
